Main Door 13 Beaumont Gate, Dowanhill, G12 9ED

Description
This exceptional main door tenement apartment, located in the heart of Dowanhill, is set within a striking red sandstone building and boasts seven spacious rooms. The property occupies a highly sought-after corner position, part of the original Dowanhill Estate designed by David Barclay of H & D Barclay between 1898 and 1912. It is distinguished by exquisite period features, including bay windows adorned with stunning stained glass and elements of the Glasgow Style Art Nouveau.

Finished to the highest specification, this remarkable home maintains a host of original period details, blending classic charm with modern luxury. It also includes a manicured private garden and deck area, adding to the "one of a kind" appeal. The apartment is located within the prestigious Dowanhill conservation area, with views over Beaumont Gate and Highburgh Road. The predominantly south-facing property has preserved much of its original character, including beautifully crafted stained glasswork and well-maintained wood panelling.

The property has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners and is arranged over three levels. The ground floor features a grand main door entrance leading to a vestibule, and a magnificent, large reception hallway. From here there is access to a cloakroom with W/C, an impressive lounge with dual-aspect bay windows and an original fireplace with a wood burner, a cozy snug/TV room, offering additional living space, and a striking kitchen fitted with a central island, ample storage, and integrated appliances. A substantial principal bedroom and a generously sized second bedroom with bay window, currently used as a family room, complete the ground floor.

The upper floor includes two further double bedrooms, a large walk-in wardrobe, and additional storage, while the lower level features another large bedroom with en suite off, a utility room, and a small kitchen with a back door to the shared garden. A separate staircase leads to the main family bathroom.

Additional benefits include the refurbishment of the original sash and case windows, extensive period detailing throughout, and access to both a private front garden and a communal rear garden. This truly one of a kind home combines the best of period charm and modern convenience, in one of Glasgow's most desirable locations.
